A slow, theatrical plunge into heartbreak and isolation, anchored by a fierce performance and vivid, saturated design.

How it feels: Melancholic, tense, dark and campy. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Loneliness, grief, obsession, identity
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
